"There is no problem that cannot be solved with cake. It’s the right answer to everything." At least, that is what Molly Wizenberg says in her book, A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table.
When I read this, I immediately wrote it down. It sounds simple, but I do believe it’s true. Food for most people is comfort. That is one of the reasons I like to cook – to make those around me happy. It makes me happy too!
While I’m not the biggest fan of cake, I do believe chocolate eases every ache. So, I took Molly’s words and my love of chocolate and decided to share my Chocolate Cake recipe … This recipe is super easy and very versatile. I dream about this cake. Really, I do. I will often have dreams about cooking, but I had this particular dream about 15 years ago in which I had made this cake for a party. I woke up that morning and had to make it! It is nothing less than moist, chocolaty, goodness. Enjoy!
Update (8/7/11): I tried a variation of this cake last night for my anniversary and yum! Earl Grey Lavendar! I bought earl grey lavendar tea off the shelve and let the tea steep extra long with 4 tea bags in 2 cups of water. I used the tea in place of water in both the cake and the frosting. I absolutely love tea, almost as much as I love chocolate - the combination of the two was wonderful!
